What are the Baldur’s Gate 3 races? No matter which one you choose, the opening cinematic shows them becoming an unwilling host to a toothy little eyeball tadpole. It threatens to transform us into a Mind Flayer – an evil Eldrich creature with powerful magical abilities. Of course, you won’t have any control over the presence of your parasite pal wriggling around your insides, but you can at least customize your character’s appearance.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has a wide variety of races to choose from, with some divided into unique subraces that come with their own perks. If you create your character, you can additionally select your class and character background, perhaps even taking on the Dark Urge origin. Now that we’re so close to the Baldur’s Gate 3 release date, it’s time to take a closer look at the character archetypes to explore the Forgotten Realms.
